[Wine] Wine 1.0.1 install failed

[RobT]

I am a new Kubuntu user, v8. I have 1 Windows app that I have to keep using so tried to run with the Wine version (0.9) that came with my distro, wouldn't run it. So I uninstalled that version and downloaded Wine v1.0.1.

Used the Readme and ran <./tools/wineinstall>, install failed, here is what I think is the relevant section of the config.log. Any clues please?
